Yield Makes 6 (side-dish) servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 tablespoons olive oil
2 very large onions, halved, sliced (about 4 cups)
1 large carrot, coarsely grated
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 garlic clove, minced
1 1/2 cups arborio rice or medium-grain white rice
4 cups canned low-salt chicken broth or vegetable broth
1 6-ounce bag fresh baby spinach

Steps:

  • Heat oil in heavy large wide pot over medium heat. Add onions; sauté until tender and deep brown, about 20 minutes. Transfer 1/2 cup onion slices to small bowl and reserve. Add carrot, cumin, and garlic to onions in pot; stir 1 minute. Stir in rice. Add broth; bring to boil. Reduce heat to low; cover and simmer until rice is tender and most liquid is absorbed, about 15 minutes. Stir spinach into rice mixture; cover and cook until spinach wilts, about 2 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Transfer pilaf to bowl; top with reserved 1/2 cup onion slices.

This is the worst rice pilaf I've ever had. It was bland, mushy, and undercooked.

I tried this recipe and it was a disaster. The rice was undercooked and the spinach was slimy.

This recipe is missing some important steps. It doesn't say when to add the spinach or the caramelized onions.

I followed the recipe exactly and my rice pilaf turned out mushy. I'm not sure what went wrong.

This rice pilaf was a little bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more herbs and spices next time.

This rice pilaf was a hit with my family! The caramelized onions added a delicious sweetness and the spinach gave it a nice pop of color and flavor. I will definitely be making this again.
